It will run the charger, but allow only charging up to about 110watts output. In other words, as long as what you're charging doesn't exceed 110watts, you're fine. Even if you set up for a charger that would rewuire more watts, it will charge, but you will see the charge current reduced to stay under the power supplies wattage (plus some inefficiency thats eaten up by the charger).


Depending on what you're trying to charge, that smaller power supply could make charging take significantly longer. You can gte a 100watt AC/DC charger and not have to bother with a power supply at all and have 2x the power as a 50watt charger. It all depends on what you're trying to charge.
